I spoiled it for myself

     I couldn't resist any longer. I told myself that I wouldn't watch the Divergent movie until I was done reading the book, but I watched it. Now that I have watched the movie, when I think of Tris and Four I think of the actors that played them in the movie. Before I watched the movie I had a vision of what Tris and Four would look like and it was different from what they were portrayed like in the movie. Now, when I'm reading my book I can only think of the actors in the position and can not remember how I envisioned them.

     Not only did I have a different picture of the characters, I also had a different picture of the whole society. What I mean by that is the way they portrayed the society. For Example when they were describing the dauntless pit, I envisioned something completely different, but now with the movie it came across differently. Even though I envisioned mostly everything differently, the one thing I did imagine correctly was Eric. When I envisioned him I thought he would have a lot of tattoos and piercing and that he was really mean. I was absolutely correct and the movie portrayed him the same way.

     Now that I think about it the good thing about film adaptations is that they give you a new perspective to think about things, that maybe you haven't thought about while reading. Have you ever spoiled a book for yourself by watching the movie before reading the book?
